We would not be in the educational
mess that we are in today, concerning student data privacy, Common Core's experimental standards, stranglehold high-stakes testing nor subservience to the errant thinking and coercive grants of the U.S. Department of Education, if we had previously conducted truly fair, transparent school board elections.

Utah deserves representatives at the school board
who truly have been vetted by the people.

For those who don't know the current system: this is how the unfair, secretive, and non-transparent current system of election goes:

1. First, candidates have to take a questionnaire. Question number one is, "Do you support the Utah Common Core?" In other words, debate is not allowed. Groupthink is everything.

2. Next, candidates are vetted by a little tiny pool of insiders. Not voters.

3. Next, candidates are narrowed down by the governor to TWO choices. Both groupthinkers.

4. Finally, in what is a mockery of the meaning of a true vote, the Utah voters are permitted to select candidate A or candidate B.
